Purpose and user
The M.A. Ford 13531500N Tuffcut Al is an 8.0 mm necked end mill with two flutes designed for aluminium machining. It suits CNC operators and machine shops that need a dedicated tool for non-ferrous material removal.
Thermals noise and power
Cutting aluminium generates heat at the tool-workpiece interface, so effective coolant or air blast is required to manage temperatures. The two-flute geometry promotes chip evacuation, reducing friction and helping to keep the cutting zone stable during extended passes.
Build and mounting
The necked shank provides extra reach for deep pockets or tall walls without increasing overall tool length. A standard cylindrical shank fits common ER collets or hydraulic holders, and the solid carbide construction resists deflection when run at recommended speeds and feeds. California Proposition 65 warnings apply.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 8.0 mm necked end mill in my tool holder without damaging the shank?
Clean the shank and holder bore, then tighten the collet evenly to the recommended torque so the necked section clears the workpiece without interference.
When will the 2-flute Tuffcut Al cutter need replacement during aluminium profiling?
Replace it when flank wear reaches the acceptable limit or when chip evacuation deteriorates, typically after the tool life dictated by your feed and speed parameters.
What cutting-length limit appears first during prolonged slotting with this 8.0 mm end mill?
The necked design restricts the maximum axial depth per pass, so deflection and chip packing become the limiting factors before the flutes wear out.
